Chapter 2 — 7 Fingerprints Found In My New Home

Chu Canh Xuyen lit a cigarette. Cigarette butts fell onto the new carpet.

“You must confront my mother, right?”

“It's because she didn't respect us first.”

“She is an elder.”

“Does the elder have the right to enter and leave our house arbitrarily?”

He exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke.

"Lam Van, don't apply your way of managing employees in the bakery to my family."

“It wasn't easy for my mother to raise me.”

"My sister divorced and raising the child alone is not easy."

“My younger brother just graduated and is also having a hard time.”

“I marry you, not just you.”

I smiled softly. Say nothing. He frowned.

“What are you laughing at?”

"I laugh because on the wedding day you said that from now on there will only be two of us in this house."

Chu Canh Xuyen stubbed out his cigarette in a disposable paper cup.

“Those are just words to make you happy.”

“Life really begins, it's not that simple.”

Right at that moment. The doorbell suddenly rang. Chu Canh Xuyen and I looked towards the door at the same time. Outside, the mother-in-law's voice echoed:

"Canh Xuyen, open the door. Mom will stew some soup for you."

The very next second. The door lock makes a "beep" sound. The mother-in-law carried a thermos and walked straight into the house. Following her were her older sister Chu Canh Tinh, younger brother Chu Bang and her uncle and aunt carrying a child. As soon as he entered, Chu Canh Tinh conveniently threw his bag on the sofa.

"Oh, this sofa is really soft. Canh Xuyen knows how to choose."

Chu Bang didn't even change his shoes. Step on your dirty shoes on the floor and go straight to the refrigerator.

“Sister-in-law, do you have any water to drink?”

The aunt held the baby and looked around the apartment.

“This house is quite spacious.”

“In the future, when we go to the city for medical treatment, we will always stay here.”

“Save money for hotels.”

I stood by the door. Immobility. The mother-in-law placed the thermos firmly on the dining table.

“Lam Van, why are you still standing there blankly?”

“Pour your sister some water.”

I coldly asked:

“Who let everyone in here?”

Chu Canh Tinh was holding a decoration on the tea table and immediately stopped when he heard that.

“What do you mean?”

The mother-in-law's face also darkened.

“Didn't I say it clearly enough on the phone just now?”

“This is my son's house.”

I looked straight at her.

“Now everyone please come out.”

Chu Bang took out the box of imported yogurt I just bought from the refrigerator. Tear off the cap and drink immediately.

“Sister-in-law, don't be so stingy.”

“We are all one family.”

"Go out."

The whole living room immediately fell silent. Chu Canh Xuyen pulled my arm.

“Lam Van, that's enough.”

I forcefully pushed his hand away.

"Your mother voluntarily brought someone to register her fingerprints."

“Now you still blatantly open the door and enter the house.”

“And yet you think I'm the one who's being unreasonable?”

The mother-in-law slammed the lid of the thermos on the table.

“Canh Xuyen, look what kind of wife you should marry.”

“My family came to my house and was chased away.”

Chu Canh Tinh hugged the baby and deliberately sat down on the sofa.

“Mom, don't be angry.”

“In the red book, there is the name Canh Xuyen.”

“It won't do anything.”

I walked straight to the door and locked it. Click the manage button.

“What are you doing?”

Chu Bang drank yogurt and ran over curiously.

“Delete fingerprints.”

Mother-in-law immediately rushed forward. She forcefully pushed my hand away. The back of my hand hit the door handle, causing numbing pain. Chu Canh Xuyen was still standing in the middle of the living room. Not at all step forward. I looked at him.

“Are you just standing there looking?”

He turned to face the window.

“Don't make my mother angry anymore.”

Having support, the mother-in-law becomes even more powerful. She pointed straight at me.

“Lin Van, I'll tell you.”

“No one is allowed to delete today.”

“Later, Canh Tinh brought me to stay for a few days.”

“Chu Bang went to the city to find a job and stayed for a few days.”

“It's all natural.”

“Stay for a few days?”

I laughed. Chu Canh Tinh raised his chin.

“My husband's house over there is too noisy.”

“What if I come here to stay for two months?”

"Anyway, you two don't have children yet."

“Leaving a room empty is a waste.”

I turned to look at Chu Canh Xuyen.

“Do you know about this?”

He rubbed between his eyebrows.

“I haven't told you yet.”

“When are you going to say it?”

“Wait until your sister moves her luggage here before telling me?”

Chu Bang laughed.

“Sister-in-law, stop pretending.”

“How much money does your bakery make a day?”

“My brother is under a lot of pressure to pay the mortgage.”

“I came here to help you two look after the house.”

The aunt comforted the baby and added:

“That's right.”

“Women, don't be too strong.”

“Being too strong usually doesn't end well.”

I took out my phone.

“If everyone doesn't go.”

“I will report it to the police.”

The mother-in-law immediately sat down on the ground. Slapping his thighs and crying.

“Just report!”

“Let the police come and see how the daughter-in-law bullies the mother-in-law!”

Chu Canh Tinh also quickly raised his phone to record a video.

“Everyone, please see this.”

“Just moved into a new house and my mother-in-law is not allowed to step foot in the door.”

“I still want to report to the police.”

I put my hand over the lens. Chu Canh Tinh deliberately pushed the baby forward. The child immediately burst into tears. The mother-in-law cried even more fiercely.

“I worked hard to raise my son.”

“After he got married, he didn't recognize his mother anymore!”

Right then. The door of the apartment opposite opened. A middle-aged woman poked her head out.

“What's going on?”

The mother-in-law immediately stood up. Her ability to change emotional states is amazingly fast. The crying voice just now suddenly became full of self-pity.

“Please help me see.”

“I just went to my son's house to bring some soup.”

“And yet my daughter-in-law wants to report me to the police.”

Chu Canh Tinh immediately pointed the phone straight at my face.

“Lam Van, tell me.”

“Aren't you very good?”

I calmly replied:

“They arbitrarily registered fingerprints in my house.”

The woman opposite looked around the apartment. Then looked at Chu Canh Xuyen.

“Tieu Chu, tell me what this is all about?”

Chu Canh Xuyen was silent for a few seconds. During those few seconds, I heard a warning sound from the unclosed refrigerator. The sound rang out evenly. It's like counting down for me. Finally he spoke:

“Auntie, it's just a small family matter.”

"Lam Van has been busy opening a store recently, the pressure is so great that she's not in a good mood."

My hand slowly dropped. It's also cold inside. The mother-in-law immediately continued:

“Have you heard?”

“My own son said so too.”

“It's just a big temper and a small heart.”

Chu Canh Tinh turned off the phone.

“Mom, where are you going?”

“Just stay for dinner tonight.”

“Let Lam Van cook some dishes.”

“By the way, see if this landlady knows how to receive guests.”
